Chapter 27

Everly POV

Tears of frustration streaked down my face as I stormed away from him. Zoe and Macey were waiting, but I was too upset to speak to them as I ran to my office. Both of them followed me inside, and Macey was clutching a piece of paper in her hand. “You ok?” Macey asks, and I nod. However, I was anything but ok. That was Valerie’s car, I know it was silly, but it was hers, just like everything of hers I kept down in the storage lockers. I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away. “We will get it back,” Zoe offers, and I shake my head.

“He had it crushed when I refused to let him mark me,

“A*e, I’m sorry, Everly, ” Macey says, and I sniffle; it wasn’t their fault. Macey clears her throat, and I glance at her resting on the edge of my desk as I used a tissue to wipe away my childish tears,

buying another was no issue, but I loved that car because it was hers. “The Inspector-,”

“Crap, I forgot,” I tell them, getting up, and Macey waves me away, holding a piece of paper out to me

I take it from her and read it; a sound of annoyance leaves me when I see what is written on it.
